Mahama promises more road projects for Ahafo Region

President John Dramani Mahama has pledged additional road construction projects in the Ahafo Region to enhance transportation and spur development. While visiting Goaso during the Regional Accountability Series tour, Mahama addressed the challenges residents have encountered due to subpar road conditions. The government, he emphasized, is dedicated to expanding road infrastructure in the area, with several initiatives currently in progress.

Among the projects Mahama highlighted is the Tepa–Mabang–Goaso road, which is being paved by Kofi Job Construction Limited to rectify its long-standing poor condition. Additionally, the Sunyani–Ntotroso–Acherensua road project is underway as a collaboration between Newmont Ghana and the government. These initiatives are part of broader efforts to improve road connectivity and alleviate transportation challenges faced by communities in the region.

Representing the chiefs and people of Ahafo, Barima Twereko Ampem, President of the Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs and Paramount Chief of Ntotroso, expressed gratitude to the government for addressing the region's longstanding road infrastructure issues. He expressed optimism that ongoing investments in road construction would substantially improve the region's road network before Mahama's term concludes.

Meanwhile, Roads Minister Governs Kwame Agbodza indicated that the President is expected to commission several completed road projects nationwide before the year's end. He expressed confidence that some of the projects in the Ahafo Region would be ready for commissioning within the current period.
